; Uncharted flows very naturally from one segment to the next. Even when the game has you piloting a jet ski through a flooding city or running towards the camera to escape collapsing ruins, it doesn't feel out of place or random, just an organic extension of the situation.
). At times, the exposition is light-hearted and entertaining. "This is like trying to find a bride in a brothel," one character remarks near the game's beginning.
twists throughout the adventure's plot. Though some of these are foreshadowed and obvious, there are also those that come completely out of nowhere and shock the living crap out of you 
. By the game's surprisingly tidy conclusion which is incredibly kick ass, everything is explained and justified to some degree. Through most of Uncharted you shoot pirates and leap through the jungle however near the end of the game everything changes and the cover function is no longer of much use to you. However, I won't spoil the game for you! 
Once I began playing the game I didn't stop..... 
not once. I played all the way through for 8 mind blowing hours. I was hooked. The game grasped me and never let go. 
There are certain fights that demand countless attempts, as the massacre of all the enemies in an area triggers another wave or two or three. There is very little satisfaction in carefully picking off ten heavily-armed ass hat pirates only to fall victim to the grenade-launching bastardo that rushes in, and my curse-laden exclamations 
and the frustration I felt at such points were identical to those I experienced during my first time playing Gears of War at my cousins house.
unless that piece of cover is directly to his right or left and within rolling distance. You can't duck down and run forward to another piece of cover, you have to get up, book your bitch ass over there, and risk getting shot to pieces which occurs most of the time. Also, when leaning against a corner, there's no easy way to slip around it and adhere to its other side.
. Along with whatever two weapons players have liberated from their bastard dead foes, hand-to-hand combat is an option as well, and performing a certain combo rewards players with more ammunition than they would have received otherwise. Nathan can also shoot his gun while running; auto-targeting balances out the inability to aim while doing so which is helpful near the end of the game. Not only that, but you can run towards one of the bastard pirates and kick the lving shit of them....killing them instantly. 
Okay I will admit that Uncharted's biggest problem is its tendency to throw the same fuck head enemies at you time and time again. There's little variation upon the ass hat enemies you encounter, and just when you think you're done, another wave of same-looking foes show up. I can count the number of new enemies you run into on one hand. Because of this, the game's many encounters tend to play out the same way, and, despite the ever-changing locales, it's easy to get tired of killing identical pirates over and over. For example, the big fat black guy with out a shirt always has a shot gun and the guy wearing a hat always has the gernade launcher! HONESTLY! 
, the game's platforming sections are overly easy yet deliciously satisfying. As long as you're on the right path, it's practically impossible to screw up a jump. Truth be told, there's almost no skill involved in these parts, but that's fine with me. The real problem is when the game's cover systems completely ignores the crate to your right and bitch slaps you against a wall that puts you in harm's way. Fortunately, neither happens too frequently. 
I'll be honest there are some slight screen tearing that occurs from time to time, and the frame rate occasionally slows. Thankfully, such cases are rare, and never affect gameplay.
...You really questioning my sexual orientaion, Frank?| |
